The grand ball at the Magnolia Hotel

shining lights of Palatka society will be
present TO enjoy the pleasures in store
for all the guests. The steamer Louise

noon, and returning after the close of the
ball. The fare for the round trip will be
only 81.
Under the new management the De
BaryBaya Line is picking up business
in lively manner. The steamer City of
Jacksonville, with clever Capt Shaw in
command, and Mr.. NcGowan as purser,
goes up the river every trip loaded with
passengers and freight. Mr.. George
Cecil, the manager of the line, is pushing
things right along, and business along
the river Is getting back to its old time

An ingenious writer treats Of gravitatiOn
of the moon in The Popular Science News
If it Were possible, lie says To take journey
10 the moon we should find n very different
state of affairs existing. The moon having
u much smaller mass than the earth will
exert its attractive influence less strongly;
and by the exeTtiOn of the same strength a
man could leap into the air to aStonish-
ing distance, jumping over the tallest build
ings with the same ease that be would clear
low obstruction on the earth. The same
effect would be produced upon all other
bodies. Horses would travel at = greatly in
creased speed, and If the rider was thrown
the consequences of his fall would be much
less serious; the elephant would become as
light footed as deer; stone thrown from
the hand of careless boy might fall in an
adjoining town before accomplishing its mis-
sion of destruction: armies would engage in
battles at great distances from each other;
and nearly every kind of labor would be
lightened, from the diminished weight of
tools and matCrials.-EostOn Transcript.
